In trying to stop a series of experiments designed to turn soldiers into mindless killing machines, SSU agent Rafe Andros is captured and forced to undergo the transformation himself. His only hope lies in the hands of beautiful scientist Gabby Montague, whose research helped strengthen the program that has turned him into little more than a raging beast.

But Gabby isn’t just racing to save the man she’s come to love. There is critical information locked inside Rafe’s mind. Only he can prevent the other subjects of the experiment from being loosed against an innocent population in a plan of retribution taken to deadly extremes....more

I liked this one a bit more than the last one although the characterisation of him not being able to access his intellect made him sound like Tarzan. Also I hate the name Rafe which didn't help! The wrap up felt a little rushed due to there being too many plot lines running at the same time. All in all though not a bad series for brain chewing gum when not feeling well.

After three books my enthusiasm for this series is waning.This last book was in need of more editing, since it becomes annoying to incessantly read repeat information. I also found the men to have this rather peculiar alpha beta mixture. Perhaps the author was trying to achieve an alpha male with a softer side. However, I found myself wanting to smack the hero more often than not.Still the storyline is intriguing and keeps you focused, while the characters are appealing. An easy read, and well..After three books my enthusiasm for this series is waning.This last book was in need of more editing, since it becomes annoying to incessantly read repeat information.
